=== Search ===
* More work has been done on upgrading elasticsearch to 5.5.x [0]
* We re-indexed English language wikis to incorporate the Katakana and
Hiragana searches [1]
* Issues were found where
search.wikimedia.org was the source of lots
of 500 errors, it's been resolved [2]
* Indexing wikidata descriptions has been enabled (but still working
on using that in the search) [3] [4]
=== Analysis ===
* Chelsy's analysis is complete for testing on 18 wikis with > 1% of
search traffic [5] [6] [7]
=== Portal ===
* The name change from "Sámegiella" to "Davvisámegiella" has been
pushed into production on Nov 20 [8]
* The portal translations and stats have been updated — via our new
automated process (it's still a work in process) [9] [10]
